Vogue Italia February 2011 - The Black Allure
I’m not going to get all analytical about this shoot, the fashion industry and race. I do enough of that outside this space.  I’m just going to enjoy this beautiful spread and share it with people.

When I cut my hair many people asked if I would ever go blonde. The answer is no but it looks good here.  The contrast is much nicer with her skin tone than mine.

Givenchy Couture Spring 2010

Givenchy Couture Spring 2010

I wasn’t freaking out over the Givenchy Spring 2010 couture show. I was expecting to but found myself liking about half the collection.  I loved the feathers, shorts, ruffles, beading and sheer elements of the collection.

I loved all the pieces in neutral colours but that feeling wasn’t uniform when it went the colour came out of the woodwork.  The blue and green embellished jumpsuits reminded me of Christmas ornaments.  I loved the purple ruffled dresses.

I missed Mariacarla’s strut, but my girl Rose was there.  I wasn’t a fan the eye makeup.  The shoes were very cute.

I have to one question, Ciara as Riccardo Tisci’s muse?  Really, WTF.  To top it all off, trying to mooch out of paying for couture pants, this isn’t ready to wear girly.

Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear – Fall 2009 – 2010

Louis Vuitton Ready to Wear - Fall 2009 - 2010

I wasn’t a fan of Marc Jacobs this year. He redeemed himself with Louis Vuitton. I’m so happy my girl Rose (pictured above) got to walk the show. Yes, Marc. Like the John Galliano show, I have video so I’m not going to bore you with photos. You need to see this stuff in motion. However you can see photos of the full Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 RTW collection at Nymag.com.
